Running and Patterns

The goal I made for the year in January was to be able to run 5km without stopping. Today I ran 3.5km without stopping so in my mind I'm over half way to my goal. The crazy thing is that I quite enjoyed it. I never thought I would say that about running.I have been making some platypii this week, nice and bright. I love these colour combinations. I have also been working on rewriting the platypus pattern and also my elephant pattern so I can get some printed out to sell. Another very steep learning curve.

Congrats on the running. I dont think I could run. My sister used to run half marathons for years and loved it until her knee started to play up. I am sure it helps you to destress too. Love the platypii, so cute and colorful.

Good for you Kate. I'm hopeless. I run to one light pole then walk to the next etc. I have exercise but find that the older you get the harder that winter weight is to get off......Love your Platypii. How exciting to be selling your patterns too. Good luck with that. xx

personally Kate, I cannot WAIT for you to get your patterns printed! The elephant, giraffe, puffy fish and platypus are all my favorites. Whenever I look around my favorites in etsy I am so tempted to buy one of your puffy fish especially but since there are no children in my household, I cannot justify it, for the moment! One of these days I will cave, I know it!

I know what you mean about enjoying the running...since a few weeks I'm going to the fitness (never done this before, but necesarry now after 5 pregnancies), and I never thought I would ever say that I like fitness..

Good on you with the running. I'm not a runner either but there was a small window in my life where I found that I could enjoy it. I even chose to run (walk in the tricky bits) 2o kms over a mountain track. Then life got in the way. I would love to feel that way again. Maybe after this babe. It will keep getting easier and more fun for you.
